[Technical] cases21

[Clark, Ian C]

Hi Anton,

Obviously the Principal's aim is to relieve the burden on the Office
staff, since there must be duplication of effort, entering the absences
in once on the curriculum side then again on the admin.

But if your curric system is Oracle, and your admin is SQL Server, you
should be able to hire a SQL Consultant to write a trigger that imports
the data from your curric database. Anecdotally, I've heard of schools
doing that in the opposite direction to export CASES data to library
databases. 

You might want to contact the CASES development team for advice.

Cheers,
Clarky

Hi everyone, the Principal at my school has asked me about changing the 
schools rolls system to cases21.  Our present system is web based using 
oracle and allows heaps of functions for teachers, coordinators admin
etc.  
Can anyone assist me as to whether this would be a good thing or not.  
Presently the only drawback with our system is with human data entry
errors.
I would really appreciate any feedback.  I am absolutely scared at the
whole 
change over process and all the retraining etc that would occur.

with thanks
